OK, dumb question: How can I view VM Log files that are locked?
I have an issue with a VM crashing and I want to view the current log file to diagnose. When I log into the ESX box with Veeam it wont allow me to view the file becasue it is locked by another process (its the current log file being written to), I have tried logging into the console and doing CAT and TAIL on the file but those gave me the same response of the file being locked by another process...
I know I can release the lock by shutting down the VM but that is not possible as it is a prod mail server and its running OK now.
Any ideas? TIA.
